Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Aminobenzoic acid
Description2-Aminobenzoic acid, also known as 2-aminobenzoic acid or 2-aminobenzoic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aminobenzoic acids. These are benzoic acids containing an amine group attached to the benzene moiety. 2-Aminobenzoic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. 2-Aminobenzoic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. 2-Aminobenzoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 2-Aminobenzoic acid and formic acid can be biosynthesized from formyl2-aminobenzoic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme kynurenine formamidase. In addition, 2-Aminobenzoic acid and L-alanine can be biosynthesized from L-kynurenine through the action of the enzyme kynureninase. In cattle, 2-aminobenzoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway. 2-Aminobenzoic acid is a potentially toxic compound.

2. Kynurenine formamidase
General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-formyl-L-kynurenine to L-kynurenine, the second step in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation. Kynurenine may be further oxidized to nicotinic acid, NAD(H) and NADP(H). Required for elimination of toxic metabolites.
